Hi. Saw your post. when i was a fish newbie i came across a place like this but for fish. the website is:
www.aquariacentral.com it has some helpful information and a pretty good classified section.
i just sold my 29 gallon. the fish were getting sick and it was getting a lot of work on me. and i wanted to devote all my time with Cody. i still have my 10 gallon and i have 1 dwarf gourami, 17 mickey mouse platys. (had a pregnant female and i saved the babies), and i have neon tetras.
i love it. its very relaxing to sit and watch them!!
good luck w/everything. and try that website out!
